Christopher Reeve

From Conservapedia

In 1995, he suffered a severe spinal injury after a fall while riding a horse. He was left a quadriplegic, but he still remained an actor, even directing and producing some films.

Outside of the film industry, Reeve was an outspoken supporter of disabled people, supported the Special Olympics, and was an advocate of embryonic stem cellresearch. Sadly, he died in 2004 at the young age of 52, from a bedsore that became badly infected.
